Wordsmith Wordsmith is building the legal operations platform for in-house teams, and we are growing fast. We believe in-house legal is becoming one of the most important functions in the AI era. Every business is moving faster, but legal work is still too often scattered across inboxes, chats, documents, and disconnected systems. Wordsmith brings that work into one system. Requests come in from across the business, AI agents handle the routine, lawyers stay in control where judgment matters, and every step is captured as work happens. We are built for in-house legal, not law firms. Our goal is to help legal teams move faster, reduce unnecessary external counsel spend, and become a function the business can run with. More than 500 companies, including Financial Times, Safelite, Trip.com, Canva, Starling, and Sage, use Wordsmith. Backed by $100M from Index Ventures, General Catalyst, Highland Europe, and others, we are building one of the defining companies in legal AI., We're an office-first company. We believe being together helps us move faster, collaborate better, and build stronger teams. This role is central to making that model work. Our offices should feel energising, efficient, and ready for high-performing teams every day. We move fast, and we expect the same from this role. - Ownership of a highly visible global function
- Direct impact on how our teams experience work every day
- Opportunity to launch and shape new offices as we scale internationally, including London and New York
- Competitive compensation and meaningful equity
- Fast-paced environment with real responsibility
